I’ve got an entry with a single quote in it.  It goes into the system just fine from the control panel (the entire entry stores in the DB).

When I try and display the content on the page, content is truncated at the apostrophe.

Example:

(stored in DB)
My content isn’t displaying correctly

(output to browser)
My content isn

....

any suggestions are appreciated.

thank you

What version and build of EE are you using? Can you show us the tag pulling this data?

I’m using: 1.6.9, Build:  20100430

index template:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="site_content" limit="1" rdf="off" disable="trackbacks|comments|categories|member_data"}

{embed='site_common/snippet_header' title='{title}'}

{embed='site_common/snippet_body' body='{body}'}

{embed='site_common/snippet_footer'}

{/exp:weblog:entries}

site_common/snippet_body template:

<div class="grid_12" id="bodycontent">
    {embed:body}
  </div>

The content in question is stored in the “body” field in the site_content weblog.

If I remove the apostrophy, the full amount of content displays fine

I see the root of the issue in that the {body} tag is being processed prior to being tossed off into the embedded template, which is closing the embed variable tag.

Can I escape that content such that it gets passed and quotes preserved?

That’s exactly what’s happening here, yes.

You’d have to use some PHP for that, I think. The easiest solution for this particular problem would probably be to use double quotes around {body}.
